Flat Greta goes to Chicago

Our granddaughter Greta has a school assignment in which she is to create a paper version of herself and supply it to someone going on an adventure.

They are to take the "Flat Greta" and pose it with various sights and document the trip. It is then returned with the pictures to allow "Real Greta" to tell about the trip.

"Flat Greta" traveled to Chicago on an Amtrak train and explored the sights of Chicago.

Flat Greta explored 'Flamingo', created by noted American artist Alexander Calder. It is a 53-foot tall stabile located in the Federal Plaza in front of the Kluczynski Federal Building in Chicago, Illinois, United States.

There is a reason they call this the "Windy City"
